If we think about it, without them we would not have the chance to taste truffles in our dishes; they are our precious seekers, thanks to which we can taste this flavor. Of course it takes a good trainer master too, who can teach him all the techniques of the trade. Truffle dogs are trained as puppies (from 3 months of life) and initially it's all a game: they are smelled a rag or a ball impregnated with truffle smell and then simply play. Very used to instill in the dog the smell of truffles, it is the truffle oil, which the truffle hunters already precociously put into the dog's porridge. During the training it is very important to establish a bond of trust between the dog and the truffle hunter, and that the research activity is always considered as a playful experience and not a "job". The command "leave" is essential to avoid the risk that, once you find the truffle, the dog eats it! It is always necessary to give a small prize to the dog after he has brought his task to term, giving him a small treat for example.
